In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

"I'm sorry... Ze..."

"I……"

Shirakawa glanced at the girl who was pursing her lips, unsure of what to say, and laughed.

The other person's slanted eyes and fair, delicate face give off a different feeling when they're embarrassed; it's really cute.

Toyokawa Shoko realized at this point that the other party was deliberately teasing her.

However, she wasn't angry; instead, she breathed a sigh of relief.

This shows that the other party didn't take that matter to heart.

Shirakawa Sawa then spoke.

"Actually, there were more than just the two of us in the park that day."

Shoko Toyokawa was startled and quickly looked up into the other person's eyes.

"Is there anyone else?"

Shirakawa Ze nodded.

"And you've even met before."

These words made the girl even more flustered. Her small hands unconsciously began to clutch the hem of her skirt, and a hint of nervousness appeared in her voice.

"Where did I meet that person before?"

Shirakawa added leisurely,

"Just now, at my house."

Just now? At your house?

Nagasaki Suyo?!

The girl's eyes widened immediately, but then she thought, "That can't be it."

If Motoyo Nagasaki had been there, she definitely would have called for herself.

She remembered Kaname Rakuna, who had appeared at Shirakawa's house earlier, and felt a little relieved. She then asked...

"Is that the girl with the short silver hair from earlier?"

Shirakawa Ze nodded.

"Yes."

"She was playing with her cat in the bushes nearby when she heard our conversation."

"I also learned a new word."

“CD.”

"Then she started saying I was CD's man..."

The girl was caught off guard and immediately covered her mouth to stifle her laughter.

Shirakawa Ze put on a stern face and pretended to be angry.

"How dare you laugh?"

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have said those things.”

"Xiangzi, you've done all sorts of bad things."

Toyokawa Shoko knew, of course, that the other person wasn't really angry, and suppressed a laugh as she spoke.

"Where have I done all these bad things?"

"I think Ze is the one who is really doing bad things. It's one thing for him to make me say those kinds of things, but he's also corrupting the children."

Shirakawa gave her a thumbs up, then nodded, looking utterly defeated, and remained silent.

Toyokawa Shoko chuckled to herself for a while, then gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked up at the boy beside her, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Ze, thank you."

"It's always been so good to have you."

After the little incident, her mood has completely brightened, and she has put all the memories and disappointments behind her.

Shirakawa Ze also sensed the change in the other person's mood, so he dropped his feigned expressions and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"It's so good to have you..."

"Actually, this is what I was thinking too."

A hint of curiosity appeared in Toyokawa Shoko's eyes.

"It's so good to have me around?"

Why does Ze feel this way?

Shirakawa Ze turned to look at her.

"Need a reason?"

The girl paused for a moment, as if she understood something, and a bright smile bloomed on her face.

"It doesn't seem like it's really necessary."

The moment the two of them let their guard down around each other, the answer was already clear, and there was no need for further explanation.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the entrance of Yuze Coffee Shop.

Toyokawa Shoko turned her head and glanced at it, then stopped in her tracks.

"Ze, want to come in for a drink?"

Shirakawa nodded, indicating that it was okay.

After the two sat down, Toyokawa Shoko took the menu and then looked at the other person.

"Ze, have you ever tried their Yuze Special Drink?"

Shirakawa Ze nodded.

"I've tried it, it's very good."

He turned to look at the shop assistant next to him.

"I'd like a drink, please."

Shoko Toyokawa closed the menu with a smile.

"Me too."

As the two were ordering, Shirakawa noticed a girl wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses that covered half her face walk in. Equally eye-catching was her shoulder-length blonde hair.

Toyokawa Shoko also noticed this person, but after only one glance and realizing she couldn't make out his features, she stopped paying attention and instead focused her gaze on the boy in front of her, her eyes focused and her smile bright...

Volume 1: Chapter 121 Chu Hua's Jealousy, Future Visions

In the afternoon, in an ordinary coffee shop on the street, a young man and woman sat facing each other, sipping coffee and chatting casually.

This scene looks like an ordinary scene that plays out countless times every day, making it difficult to attract anyone's attention.

But at this moment, in the Yuzawa Cafe, Toyokawa Shoko and Shirakawa Sawa, who are drinking coffee face to face, are different.

To be precise, it's different in the eyes of Mitsukazu.

She never expected to run into Toyokawa Shoko on the street.

I never expected that the other person would sit in such an ordinary coffee shop and praise that cheap cup of coffee.

When the other person's gaze swept over her, her heart trembled slightly, and then a strong sense of anticipation welled up inside her.

She hoped the other person would recognize her at that moment.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

The other person glanced at him briefly before looking away, then continued to look at the boy opposite him with focused and bright eyes, and the smile on his face made him radiate light, just like in previous years.

How wonderful, Xiao Xiang.

However, this wonderful thing does not belong to me now.

That radiant smile wasn't for himself.

In that instant, Mikasa felt as if something important had been taken away from her.

Her gaze shifted to Shirakawa's face, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

However, this did not affect her expression.

The next second, she took off her sunglasses, walked up to Toyokawa Shoko, looked at her with a smile, but did not speak.

Toyokawa Shoko naturally noticed that someone had walked up to her, so she looked up and saw Mikasa Hatsuka's face.

After a moment of stunned silence, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Chuhua?"

"It's been a long time!"

It's always a joy to meet an old friend.

But to say I was particularly happy, I wouldn't say I was.

After all, the foundation of their past relationship wasn't very solid, and coupled with the change in her mindset over the past year, the other person wasn't considered the most important person in her heart.

But they are still considered quite important friends.

Toyokawa Shoko stood up, introduced the two people in front of her to each other, and then looked at Mikasa Hatsuka.

"Is Chu Hua planning to have coffee here?"
